Morpheus Czargyros (born June 9, 2022) is an American football linebacker who most recently was drafted by the Dallas Birddogs of the DSFL.

Early years

Orpheus Czargyros was born alongside Morpheus Czargyros in their parents '76 Chevy pickup truck. He came into this earth ice cold, his mother in intense pain. Some say to this day his body is still absolutely frigid to the touch in comparison to his twin brother who is known to always be "sizzlin", though this has not actually been verified as Orpheus is constantly sporting a puffy jacket.

The Czargyros brothers had a relatively normal upbringing but both demonstrated that they were extremely gifted athletes at a young age. At Rancho Cucamonga High School, Orpheus was a two sport athlete competing in football and track and field. The Czargyros brothers were anchors on a dominant defensive line that helped bring home a state title for the Cougars in their senior year.

Orpheus was planning to attend the University of Georgia to play football after receiving an offer, however, on the night of the annual Rager Bangamonga, the biggest part in the town, Orpheus found himself in a bit of trouble with the law. After what the police could only surmise was a night of heavy drinking, Orpheus was found passed out in the parking lot of the local Sizzler wearing a snail costume. Witnesses that night claimed to see Orpheus running around spray painting the words 'snail down' on various pieces of public property, including the town statue of of Jack Benny located inside the lobby of the Family Lewis Playhouse of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. Upon his arrest, Orpheus cried out, "Wait Sizzler's almost open let me run in real quickly". Orpheus was stripped of his scholarship and his offer of acceptance to the University of Georgia. He instead opted to attend The University of Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga with his brother.

College career

The Czargyros brothers were a dominant force together once again for The University of Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga Bulldogs. Originally playing as a defensive end, Orpheus was moved to linebacker after losing a significant amount of weight in his freshman year. Some surmise that he gave up drinking after the Rager Bangamonga incident in order to never miss out on another opportunity and that led to his weight loss. A fantastic athlete, but a bit raw at a position requiring a different skillset, Orpheus was a second team All-American in his final season in which he recorded 15 sacks and 127 tackles.

Orpheus was picked up as a waiver claim by the Kansas City Coyotes towards the end of the S29 in the DSFL. He had very little impact for the team in his few starts, but was well liked by the organization. Despite this, the Coyotes did not opt to draft Czargyros in the S30 DSFL draft and he was instead taken by the Dallas Birddogs in the second round.
